Montana is a new 26-part soapie/drama series.
Once divided into the separate worlds of Gugulethu and Bishop Lavis, the show chronicles the intertwined lives of four families who live in and around the melting pot suburb of Montana, Cape Town.
The focus is on four families ranging from the destitute Yilis who live in a squatter camp bordering Montana, the Jordaans of Bishop Lavis, the Ntshingas of Gugulethu and the well-off Duze's of Montana.
The principal couple of the series is the engaged-to-be-married Victor Jordaan and Nolitha Ntshinga who live together in Montana and they, like the suburb, are a symbol of unification of the once segregated worlds.
They are a representation of two communities once divided, now united. They are a microcosm of the bigger picture of Montana itself and South African society as a whole.
The main cast includes: Zikhona Sodlaka, Charles Tertiens, Anelisa Phewa, Poppie Tsira, Sizwe Msutu, Chumani Pan, Ayanda Tini, Jet Novuka, Chantal Stanfield, June van Merch, Lu Chase, Az Abrahams, Langley Kirkwood, Clyde Berning, Warrick Grier, Riana Alfreds, Chris Gxlaba.
